Series info and plot

Portlandia is a satirical sketch and absurdist comedy television series created by Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein and Jonathan Krisel for Broadway Video Television and IFC Original Productions. Andrew Singer, Jonathan Krisel and Lorne Michaels are the executive producers for the series. The show originally premiered on January 21, 2011, with the current sixth season having debuted on January 21, 2016.

The comedy series has started off as a series of internet comedy sketches developed by Brownstein and Armisen in 2003. In 2009 the show concept was successfully pitched to IFC. The very realistic, elaborately depicted and recognizable offbeat characters and their hilarious and often absurd interactions have garnered praise from the viewers, especially the ones in their twenties and thirties.

Reviews, ratings and possible renewal

The show has received a Peabody Award and has been met with mostly positive critical reviews and a very enthusiastic audience response. The show has a 7.8/10 rating on IMDb and a fantastic 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, but it seems to be losing momentum ratings-wise, with the February 4, 2016 episode having been watched by just 152,000 viewers, and having scored a mere 0.07 rating. By the end of the last season in 2015 the ratings were just a bit higher, around 0.12. How will the series fare in the near future might determine its fate for the next season, so we will pay close attention to the ratings and news and inform you when something significant transpires.
